By definition, an equation is a statement that two mathematical expressions are equal.

Equations always contain the equal sign "="

Out of the 4 expressions listed, number 2. does not contain the equal sign, which means that this expression is not an equation.

All other expressions contain the equal sign, they can be considered equations.
